Do You Want to Know?

~~~ Daniel 2:31-45 ~~~ (Psalm) Daniel 3:57 ~~~ Luke 21:5-11 ~~~

 

People have long speculated about the end times being near,

they base this opinion on the increase of  wide spread disasters...famines...wars...floods...earthquakes...

or comets streaking across the sky....

 

Most likely God will not be setting up billboards across the world

 foretelling of the end of civilization as we know it. 

Instead we are told that we will not know the hour in which the end will occur.

Then they asked him,
“Teacher, when will this happen?
And what sign will there be when all these things are about to happen?”

 

We like to know...we even gloat about our knowledge of things.

God is not going to provide queue cards in advance of his return.
Not knowing, by design should keep us more attentive
to what is taking place around us.

  

 

Rather than concerning ourselves with the possible signs of the end
we should be focused on our relationship with God. 

 

 Yet God has given us numerous signs of his magnificent glory.
He has shown us that as he cares for the lilies and birds of the fields
 he will care for us much more.
He has shown us he will search for the one lost sheep.
He has shown us that he will cure the sick, make the lame walk,
and purge those possessed by evil spirits.
But above all he has shown us, by the cross,
 that his love for us is the greatest sign.

We do not need any signs of the end times.
We only need to live like believe in life ever after 
as we have been promised.

Blessings come in trusting
that we do not need any new special signs.
